It’s really interesting to see all these ignorant Nigerians on Twitter and on here talking about how Nigerian army will defeat Niger within hours. I don’t even think these people studied geography in school because if they did - they won’t make such a ludicrous statement.

Niger is bigger than Nigeria. And Nigeria, a country struggling to contain ragtag Islamists, bandits and separatists shouldn’t be interfering in other countries. Heck, Nigeria struggled in a very small country like Sierra Leone and it took the intervention of British forces (they had to intervene 3 times) to bring normalcy to that country.

Niger coupists have the support of the Wagner forces in Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea. And Algeria has also joined the fray with support for the coupists. Nigeria needs to stay out of it.

Tinubu, don’t be a western puppet - buy time and use diplomacy. Nigerian army would absolutely get wrecked and disgraced in Niger. Even the French would get wrecked if Algeria is fully committed to supporting the coupists. Stay out of it!

I dont know how old you are but the military isnt the cure for poverty and corruption, it has never bn and will never be. Infact nothing is as fulfilling as the power to remove a leader or party u dont like, every four years. Perhaps you are a Peter Obi supporter and being emotional but guess what, under military regime, Peter Obi wont even be able to gather any political momentum, both the good, bad, ugly will be in exile or quietly face their business.... The bad part of it is that their wont be an end date, it will be from one coup to another, while the developed countries use the coups to put whoever they want in power and summarily kill off those they dont want.

Most of Nigeria's woes are still traceable to military regimes which we had to endure from 1966 to 1999 with only 4 years of delicate democracy in between

Democracy is still the best form of govt and should be supported even if flawed

I don't know whether they are not seeing the results of the so called democracy

egbetokuns:


Do you pray or agitate for coup in Nigeria? Don’t be surprise that the same military you pray to take over will arrest your last election candidate or assassinate him. How can u trust soldiers to the point to take over your country. You don’t love your country. Loosing election doesn’t mean your candidate will not win next time. The same Buhari lost many times before he became president.

Bro honestly I am happy for NIGER....Nigeria is due for such revolution....you can't keep on scamming people all in the name of demoCRAZY ....they claim military regime is a no way to go about it then tell me the difference between the civilian rule and military rule. Infact ,civilian rule is the worst...I HAVE MY A MILLION REASONS FOR SAYING THAT

EngGandalf:

Have you ever lived in a military rule? As u dey do move around for Naija freely no sweet you ba? God forbid military rule my bro.. democracy is a lesser evil…

Cromagnon:
how many times had military changed any country

whitemand4:


Exactly because the US is now becoming useless in the major world geopolitics and economy. BRICS with no dollar transaction has crumbled them.

You just say the truth. West is the problem of Africa. We are hungry, you are not bother but you want our oppressors to countine.

engrchykae:
Since the days of west Africa frontier force,the job of Africa political and military class have been to bully unwilling slaves.
From the Niger company to our so-called democracy.
We went to Congo to fight for the benefit of Belgium
We went to Liberia to fight for the benefit of USA
We went to Sierra Leone to fight for USA
We went to Mali in 2011 for France economic interest
Now we are backing as the usual slave dog that Nigeria is.
We looked away when the West ransacked Libya

NastiLord:
The griller, so u still dey breath . I disagree with you. The people of Niger are happy with the military regime and I think instead of the West and the good for nothing ECOWAS to escalate the already tensed Niger, they should work and sypport the military to bring back peace and stability in the country. Let the people's wish be respected.

BOYS2MEN:
I am beginning to believe that these westerners are the reason why Africa has been backwards in terms of democracy....the type of democracy we have here in Africa , especially west Africa is DEMOCRAZY.....the military fit come change niger , u never can tell

uh oh, you're making too much sense

I guess that even if Nigeria does nothing, France will intervene, causing anarchy in our backyard.Therefore, whichever way you cut it, the huge problems some of us anticipated with worry concerning Sahelian terrorism moving down from the Sahara open spaces into West Africa, will still occur by another means thanks to France.

Nigeria should not fall for South Africa's covert goading. Let them leaf Au into the Niger trap France is plotting. Let Nigeria be economic power house big brother, not the blood sacrificing yob.

1stGenAmerican:


For the worse, many times. Niger gets $2 billion in foreign assistance every year and the financial support to Niger has been suspended. I wonder how people think that a nation that was already struggling will be better off with no money flowing into the country from its usual benefactors?

1stGenAmerican:


Proof? You guys keep screaming about supposed de-dollarization but are the only ones talking about it. Meanwhile, your own Naira is getting weaker by the minute. BRIC currencies are still weaker than the dollar and if the US economy ever crumbles, Nigeria and a big part of the world would experience instant economic crumbling. Nigeria gets over $700 million in US aid every year, add in remittances and other monies dependent on the US economy and Nigeria will sink lower than ever. BRICS isn’t coming to rescue you, they consider your nation too much of a liability.
Let’s see how South Africa fairs when the US pulls their aid and sanctions them.

BOYS2MEN:
Trust me this guys aid lots of corruption in Africa...claimed they gave you independence but yet they left corruption for you guys...with large in flow of Africans to the European states for greener pastures Still shows how demoCRAZY Africans are....they placed their supervisors (African leaders) over Africans.....#NIGERHASSEENTHELIGHT

BigBashiru:


They did not "give" Africa independence....independence was won by force in Zimbabwe, Algeria and Nigeria....

blackgold2018:
mugu.. since US cherish democracy so much why don’t they convince UK to abolish their monarchy system. Mugu

Shut up!
The military regime is far better than this corrupt, criminals hiding under democracy.
